Did you know that every mattress needs a Protect-A-Bed Mattress Protector? FACT: Every night the human body loses a liter of body fluids through the skin pores and mouth, as well as millions of skin flakes. Unprotected mattresses thereby create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and dust mites (a major cause of asthma, eczema and rhinitis). You can control this by fitting a Protect-A-Bed Premium Mattress Protector, which is also especially helpful in cases of incontinence. This fitted sheet style pad is sized to even fit pillow-top mattresses comfortably. Its cotton, terry-cloth fabric toplayer is soft and comfortable under your sheets. Guaranteed against leaks or tears for 10 years or the factory will replace the pad at no cost. (Queen Size: 60x80x18 in.) Wash before use for best results. Do not bleach or dry clean.

does not work for me, twice
Review Date: July 8, 2010
Reviewer: N. Staats, houston, tx
Bought this with my new mattress and it did not work. Got the pillow protectors too, and they didn't work either. The pee still leaked through - but not a lot, but mattress and pillows still damp and smell like urine.
Called the customer service, they were very pleasant and sent me a new pad and two new pillow protectors. I mailed them the ruined mattress protector and pillow protectors at the cost of $10 for them to "test" it. They said there was a crack in the lining.
I put on the new mattress protector that protect-a-bed mailed me (without washing it), my toddler peed the bed again... and again, it did not protect it. Urine still leaked through just like before. I did not even wash it when I got it, so there was NOTHING done to void the usage of the pad. I took it straight out of the packaging and put it on the mattress. I no longer have faith in this product and am in the process of trying to get my money back.
We've purchased other waterproof mattress protectors before and THOSE work fine (we have 3 others). We only got protect-a-bed because the salesman at the mattress store recommended it highly when we bought the new mattress.

Reviewer: Suz,
This product is not waterproof. My cat urinated on the bed and it soaked right through onto my memory foam mattress! What a waste of money and now I've got to deal with the mattress.
NOT as advertised!

Reviewer: M. Shaw,
I bought this mattress protector at the urging of the salesman in the mattress store. I bought it *specifically* to guard against any damage my three year old son might do to the bed (urine, juice, etc.). I was aware of the delicacy of the protector at the time of purchase and have never washed or dried it on any setting other than low, and never by itself. Further, I've never even used a harsh detergent, much less bleach. The mattress protector has now failed twice to stop urine from soaking into my brand new mattress. As you may well know, stains can and will void a mattress warranty. So buyer beware. I cannot comment on the customer service as I've only just sent them an email, but since the page never loaded after I submitted it, I don't know if it went through. Save yourself the money and get something a little less breathable at a chain store until accidents are no longer a concern. Absolute waste of money.
Do not wash in hot water

We've loved this mattress protector for almost two years now. When we finally decided we should wash it, I followed the directions and washed it in hot water. Evidently my water is too hot; the plastic (or plastic-ish) liner melted all together. The product is unusable. After the fact, I read on the protect-a-bed website that they should be sterilized in 120 degree water. That isn't exactly hot. Anyhow, if you use just warm water, I'm sure it'll hold up for you!
Mine leaked, Too delicate, Weak warranty
Review Date: February 21, 2010
Reviewer: Amazon Shopper, Michigan
I own one of these that I purchased with a new foam matress. I purchased it to prevent damage from bed wetting. The salesman assured me that the product would protect the bed and the warranty even included professional cleaning if the pad failed. However, I recently discovered that the warranty is actually VERY weak. Unfortunately urine leaked through the matress pad one night. That morning I tired to get warranty service. I found that customer service is closed on weekends. Then I read the warranty details on the website. The pad must be mailed back to the manufacturer for inspection. Then they determine if they will honor the warranty. That means the matress will not get cleaned anytime soon. In addition I discovered that the pad's care instructions are ridiculous. It can not be placed in the dryer alone. It must be dried on low heat along with towels or sheets. That information is not included on the care instruction tag sown into the pad. The manufacturer will not honor the warranty if they determine the pad was dried alone. I ended up renting a carpet cleaning machine to wash my matress. The pad completely failed to perform. In addition it can not even withstand typical washing and drying. I recommend that consumers stay clear of this overpriced inferior product.
